Do you workout when your sick? Advice from Lisa Johnson of Modern Pilates

The bizarro weather we’ve been having in the North East is giving way to the October chill this weekend. Those of us in the cold parts of the world are gearing up for a few months of Jack Frost, which means that we need a daily moisturizer with a little more oomph to combat cold, dry air.

When I was working in the spa and talked to clients post-facial about home care, a number would inevitably say “you’re just trying to sell me something.” Unfortunately, the “upsell” in the salon and spa setting has pretty much eclipsed the fact that I really, honestly don’t believe that Oil of Olay is good for [...]

I don’t know about you guys, but I am SO not into the whole Black Friday shopping thing. The idea of lining up in the middle of a late November frigid night just to drop kick anyone in my way of a $3o DVD player just doesn’t appeal. So Black Friday warriors may want to [...]

Regular readers know about my hair issues. Like how I love to experiment then have my stylist fix my major screw ups! And ya’ll know that I am uber lazy about blowing out my hair. Hayleigh Hatcher, a stylist at blow, the new york blow dry bar, was kind (brave) enough to answer some hair [...]
